Lara Trump post on shelter dogs raises hackles

Lara Trump’s Instagram post about puppies provoked a political outcry when she asked fans to show sympathy for shelter dogs housed in cages, a situation many compared to the immigration crisis on the U.S. border with Mexico. Angry commenters online compared the dogs’ shelter to the plight of immigrants and their children held in cagelike detention centers as a result of President Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy.
